ing strip extends intoja suitable recess in the same being held rigidly m V able article of-furniture or otherwise to presill" to insure the place. I

The stop for the lower sash is similarly constructed in' two sections, the' upper section 6, thereof having secured on the lower end thereof an ornamental block or enlargement recessed on theunder side in register with the 'groovefo'r'th'e tongue"5', and into which extends the end, of the tonguefor the lower stop section 15,-as shown in dotted lines in FigsAjand 5. (As shown, said lower,

stop section 15, is provided with an mm mentalor' other button 16, near the-lower end, and projecting from the face thereof and engaged in the lower end of 'sai'd stop to bear upon a suitable friction member on the sub-sill 18, is' africtionlatch 17", acting tohold said stopfirmly in place normally.

' As shown,'the groove in-the jamb for said v tongue 5', is slightly enlarged near the bottom of the-jamb, and a rearwardl'y' opening hook '19," is engaged in the 'j amb therein to receive the sash cord, asshown in =Fig5 %l, The jamb is also cut or* slightly slotted obliquely'just below the lower end 'of the 1 upper'stopse'cti'on 6, and a plate 20, pivotally. engaged on the j amb and set-flushwith thev outer face thereof, is adapted tobe swung'outwardly, as showninFig. 4, across the groove in the j ambf'to engage .the sash wardly, 'TheoperatiOn is as fOllOWSZTTl1e respectivesashesunder normal condition, are movable as all suchisashes are, inopeniiig and closing the window, the upper sash being provided therefor. I-When itis desired to swing the. lower sash inwardly, ithelower stop sections 15, are removed by pulling on the button 16, overcoming thePfrictional resistance ofthe friction latch 17. 'Thestops being removed from the frame, the; top; of

the lower sash mayvbe engagedand pulled- Y outwardly .to sufficiently expose the sash cord which is first engagedinlthe oblique slot therefor, and; then pressed into the 3 groove and held in place by the. swinging plate 20,which projects across the groove, as

v shown inFi-gs. 4 and 5f The sash :is: then swung downwardly, as shown in Fig. 4,. and the; sash' cord'engag'edz behind the :hook 19.

Thelower sash is now heldfromv raising by engagement of "the cordlon said hook and requires no" further attention, the line being cramped on the pulley and at its entry in the groove in the jamb and bound in place by the latch plate. 20, suflicientresistance is tear-ace to overcome the gravity of the weights on thecord. Of course, the top. end of the sash may besupported upon anysuitvent the same tilting down unduly. The upper sash; may now be drawn- -"downwardly, the latch plate 12, retracted to release the upper end of the parting jstrip section 14, and the samemaythen be removedfromthe jambs; after which the top of thesaid sash is' pulled forwardly, such-forward swing of the sash'acting to immediately engage the hook 10*, beneath the plate 10, secured on they blind stop,as shown in Fig.8, and in dotted lines in Figl' 5 so that the sash maybe swung downto rest fiat upon the lower sash, the draft of the sash'cord being applied-to said sash near-said hook '10, beinginsufficientto' swing the sash upwardly .and again spected or otherwiseperformed the labor for which the sashes wereswung into the'room, they ma'y be quickly restored to theirnormal and usual positionby merely. swinging the inthe frame; Having ivashed,'repaired, in-
